Crews already have completed the bulk of the work at the intersection of Main and Madison, and this week broke ground at the intersection of Main and 7th Avenue.

Higgins was asked what would need to be finished next spring should crews fail to get back on schedule.

“If the weather continues to beat us up and there’s something we aren’t able to complete, it will probably be the pipe work (on Main),” Higgins said. “Completing the 7th Avenue inter-section is a priority. We can’t have 7th closed all winter.”

Although the project is behind schedule, Frisco town manager Bill Efting said the response from the community about the work completed

thus far has been positive, even with last week’s unplanned two-day detour to Creekside Drive to wrap up work at Madison Avenue. Efting credited the response to town staffers who have made it a priority to keep residents and business owners apprised of any changes to the construction schedule.

“I also think we’re working with a good contractor who is sensitive to minimizing impacts on business own-ers,” Higgins added. “And, after speak-ing with the town of Breckenridge, we learned that it’s better to set up a detour and keep traffic moving, rather than open and close the street. As long as you can keep people moving, they seem happy, but we did get some com-plaints about speeding on Creekside.”

Residents can expect more detours come Monday when crews begin drainage improvements. Those detours

will only affect eastbound traffic on Main Street and will be limited to one or two blocks at a time, Higgins said. Eastbound traffic will be detoured to Granite Street during pipe work.

The Step Up Main Street project encompasses four phases and is sched-uled for completion sometime in 2016. Construction is scheduled to take place primarily during the spring and fall.

Residents are invited to hear an update about the project during a “Construction Coffee” talk with town officials from 9 to 10 a.m. Friday at Ab-bey’s Coffee, 720 Main Street.

Knowing you’ve arrived in Keystone

JOE MOYLAN / JMOYLAN@SUMMITDAILY.COM

Summit County Com-missioner Thomas David-son, center in the photo; Ken Riley, of the Keystone Owner’s Association, right of center; and Tim Estes, vice president of hospitality for Keystone Resort and Breckenridge Ski Resort, left of center; were joined Wednesday by members of the Keystone Development Council and local residents for a ceremonial ground-breaking of Keystone’s 4 Corners construction project.

Estimated to cost $246,000, the project aims to improve safety on U.S. Highway 6 by changing the aesthetics around the town’s lone traffic light in hopes of providing mo-torists with a better sense that they have arrived in Keystone and need to slow

down.“We think it’s important

to enhance the aesthet-ics and safety through the (Highway 6) corridor and part of that means creating a solid identity for Keystone as a resort,” said Chad Huffman, of the Haywood Cafe and a

member of the Keystone Development Council. “We want people to recognize that they’ve arrived at their destination, that this is a place to stay.”

The groundbreaking also kicked off a campaign to raise the final $50,000 required for the two-phase

project, which is scheduled for completion early next summer.
